User Reviews

Users appreciate the detailed maps and clear labeling of trails and landmarks, as well as new Android Auto support. However, the app suffers from frequent crashes, unreliable track recording especially when backgrounded, poor offline map performance, and inability to export or sync data, leading to lost waypoints and tracks. Sign-in difficulties and unresponsive support worsen user experience. Essential features like search, pinning points, and route syncing are lacking, while battery drain and high pricing also detract. Many users find it unreliable and unsuitable for serious backcountry navigation, awaiting significant improvements.

Pros

Highly detailed and visually appealing maps, appreciated by users familiar with the regions.
Availability of backcountry trails, hiking trails, portage trails, lift locks, and landmarks that are clearly labeled.
Presence on multiple platforms including Android and integration with Android Auto in newer versions.
Continuous improvements noted over the years, with some users satisfied with map data quality.
Map book integration appealed to users who enjoyed printed maps alongside digital access.

Cons

Frequent app crashes and instability causing loss of recorded tracks and waypoints.
Tracking feature stops working when app is backgrounded or device screen is off, leading to unreliable navigation and safety concerns.
Lack of ability to export, backup, or sync data consistently, causing data loss and frustration.
Poor offline map support: maps often do not load or display when there is no cell service, which limits usability in backcountry.
Complicated or unreliable sign-in process with unresponsive technical support, raising concerns especially when offline authentication is needed.
Search functionality is either non-functional or limited, preventing POI or geographic searches.
Expensive subscription pricing and lack of expected features compared to competitors.
Missing essential features such as pinning waypoints, proper route syncing, 3D/map legends, and inability to adjust download zoom level.
Excessive battery consumption when using the app for tracking and navigation, making long trips challenging.

Update: This seems to work off and now. I just keep trying the sync till it works. Running a Pixel 7 and app crashes every time I hit the sync button. I paid for Pro.
